Education in the outdoors

The B.S. in Adventure-Based Environmental Education at Unity College prepares students to make a real impact in education and the environment through hands-on, experiential learning.

B.S. in Adventure-Based Environmental Education

As a student in this adventure education program, you won’t just spend time in the classroom learning about outdoor skills and adventures—you’ll actually get outside and gain real-world experience leading groups through the wilderness and other natural settings.

Alongside technical knowledge, you’ll learn pedagogy and classroom-management techniques to help you make change as a skilled educator in the classroom. You’ll also learn all about the scientific concepts integral to environmental adventure education and innovative thinking.

Adventure education requires a big “classroom” with active outdoor learning. If you seek a career in outdoor, recreational, environmental, or experiential education, grab your gear and join us for an adventure.
